The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away - Chapter 218

218 – 78. Becoming a parent (1)

Elijah had a child.

The news quickly spread beyond the imperial palace, to the imperial capital, to the empire, and to the entire continent.

The fact that the emperor was pregnant was enough to shake up the continent.

This is Elijah, no one else.

He is the one who opened a new era for mankind by resurrecting after co-exterminating with the evil god, unifying the divided nation, and conquering the demon world.

It was her child who was worshiped as a living god, so everyone was interested.

Not long after the festival commemorating the end of the war ended, small festivals and events were held again all over the continent.

The fortunes of humanity.

It was a winter where everything was quiet, but the continent was bustling.

People around Judah and Elijah also congratulated themselves when they heard the news.

The first to react was Maria.

When she heard the news of Elijah’s pregnancy, she stood still.

Just blankly.

And then, shedding a single tear, she hugged Elijah.

Maria didn’t say anything.

She couldn’t convey her feelings with any words.

All she could do was hug Elijah a little stronger than usual.

Elijah also hugged Mary without saying a word.

It was difficult for Elijah to accurately pinpoint Mary’s feelings.

This is only an inference.

However, she doesn’t have to tell everything.

Sometimes things pass by in silence.

The next person to hear the news seemed to be in shock.

“Your Majesty…. Well, first of all, congratulations. “There is truly no slope like this on the continent.”

It was Sir Galahad’s greeting.

“Yes. Thank you.”

After hearing her calm greeting, Galahad slowly looked back at her and at Judas next to her.

The reason he was shocked was because of Judas.

“When I saw you…. It’s been more than 5 years ago. You were like that….”

At that moment, memories quickly unfolded in Galahad’s mind.

From the moment she first met Judah, he was recognized by her in front of others, became her knight-errant, and even went above and beyond herself.

And then he got married to his owner, whom he had been close to for a long time, and now he is about to become the father of a child.

Judah has become an adult. She knew it, but she realizes it anew every time.

“You’re all grown up. All grown up….”

Looking at Galahad, who was in tears, Judah remembered her old days.

When he passed the final test, Galahad turned his back and sobbed.

‘I heard you’re quite emotional…. Although it doesn’t seem to be secretly.’

You must be a good parent.

When she first heard those words from Elijah, she was vague.

The concept of parents has never existed in his life.

But Galahad.

In his life, he was the closest person to his parents.

“… ?”

Elijah, who was next to her, pushed her buttocks. She said

As if telling me to go and give her a hug.

Judas smiled awkwardly and hugged him.

I don’t know.

Is it right to do it this way?

Because I have never had parents.

Galahad, who was hesitant, also smiled and hugged Judas.

“Okay. You really have grown up….”

Galahad had a wife.

He also wanted to have children, but there was no such happiness.

He said that if he ever gave birth, he wanted to see a son as dependable as himself.

I have been alone ever since.

Even though it did not lead to blood, Galahad was still satisfied with Judas.

The two just hugged in silence for a moment.

Like Elijah and Mary.

Sometimes you communicate something even without saying it.

*

After hearing the news, the subject was somewhat upset.

“What! “Then we will have a second nephew!”

It was the imperial guard.

“Hey! Judas, congratulations!”

“Guy. “I did it.”

“I spent a long time alone with His Majesty. Hmm.”

Judah knew there would be this much noise, so he didn’t bring Elijah with him today.

You are no longer living alone, so you need to maintain a stable environment as much as possible.

“It’s a first for me. “Will Erin have a friend?”

“That’s right. “My child will never be bored.”

Judas was also quite happy about this.

She learned that having close friends of her own age is beneficial to her growth.

“What should I prepare as a gift?”

“… I just want it to be done in moderation. “I heard that gifts have piled up at Richard’s house to the point where it’s difficult to process them.”

“I poured a lot of it into Richard, but it would be a pity if I gave just enough to Judah.”

“Cancer. “That shouldn’t happen.”

The guards all began discussing the gift together.

What should I give?

She looked so excited as if it was her job, and Judah was both thankful and worried about her.

‘Why on earth are you trying to bring so much money…? .’

*

While the entire continent was in turmoil, there was someone who enjoyed a quiet daily life: Elijah, the center and protagonist of the event.

Since carrying her child, she has maintained as stable and peaceful an environment as possible.

Her duties as emperor were also minimized.

In a timely manner, the basic foundation for how to manage North Korea has been completed.

Thanks to this, Elijah was able to rest in peace.

Judas also enjoyed a peaceful daily life.

He licked Elijah’s belly fat whenever he got the chance.

It was like that before, but the frequency has increased significantly since she became pregnant.

Soft and chewy pears.

There is a child inside.

It is a mysterious thing. Lying down on her bed, he hugged her from behind and played with her endlessly.

Elijah smiled as he felt his persistent touch.

“Is it that good?”

“Yes. Of course. “Our child is in here.”

Elijah couldn’t figure out the correlation between that and the act of massaging his belly.

No problem.

Because he likes it.

Sometimes Judah even put his ear to Elijah’s boat.

Even though it is still a long way from when the fetus can be felt.

Elijah loved him so much.

I have no doubt that she will be a good father.

‘Dad…. So then I become a mother….’

Dad and Mom.

Elijah was very unfamiliar with that word.

It feels like calling someone else.

‘If one day I hear my child say “Mom and Dad”…. ‘What does it feel like?’

Elijah, who had been imagining various happy things, suddenly said.

“By the way. “What should the child’s name be?”

“Um….”

Judah was also worried as he touched her belly.

This is a topic that has been discussed several times since a few days ago when she confirmed her pregnancy.

She still wasn’t sure.

“Has Ellie thought of something?”

“Not really…. I do not know.”

“I don’t have anything in particular either….”

Names may not seem very important, but they are very important.

Once a name is chosen, most people live their whole lives.

A name is a framework that defines the object from the birth of life.

“It’s a name you’ll call for the rest of your life, so you should choose it carefully…. “Ellie, what do you want to call our child?”

“Um….”

Elijah placed her own hand on Judah’s hand.

His big hands protecting my stomach warmly.

Like feeling the life of a child beyond.

I remember Maria’s words.

She said that when she gave birth, she felt like she had become a god.

She said she wanted to do anything and felt like she could do it.

‘If parents are gods, then their children are.’

Elijah muttered a word that came to mind in an instant.

“The world. Universe.”

Or something more abstract that allows us to feel those emotions, that allows the world to exist.

“Love. Trust. Hope.”

Or a more intuitive expression.

“Gift.”

Judas said, patting her stomach.

“There are already 6 candidates.”

“Yes.”

Elijah turned over and lay down.

She cut his arm and she faced him.

She kissed briefly and smiled.

“Thanks to Judas.”

“Huh? “Ellie came up with everything?”

“Okay. Judah sparked her first thought. “When doing something, making it easy to get started is very important.”

Judah smiled proudly and patted Elijah at the very sincere compliment.

“Since you say that, I have no choice but to surrender. “Is it really my fault?”

“Hmph.”

“But we must not forget that she also owed much to Ellie.”

“Wow. But, which of them should I choose… ? Does Judah have anything to her liking?”

“The problem is that I like everything.”

“Me too….”

There are currently six candidates.

World, universe, faith, hope, love, gift.

No matter what word they called their child, the two were happy.

After thinking about it, Judah soon came up with a neat and simple answer.

“It’s not something we have to decide right away, so let’s think about it slowly. They say that in some cases, a name is chosen only after the child is born.”

“Wow. I also want to decide carefully. “Because it’s a name I will have to keep calling you from now on.”

Judas kissed her forehead as if praising her.

“You’re a good mom.”

“… ….”

Elijah’s face turned red in an instant.

“Uh, I feel strange when I say ‘mom’…. Then Judah is a good father… ?”

“… ….”

Judah was also momentarily speechless.

Her face heats up.

For some reason, her heart was beating violently.

“Well, that’s right…” . Something, it’s hard to express, but it’s strange….”

It was a strange thing that I didn’t like.

The two blushed awkwardly and then made eye contact.

Naturally, bring your head closer to her.

Cover her lips.

Judas pulled her waist closer.

Elijah also hugged her neck and pressed his body close to her.

The hot and deep conversation between lips could not go any further.

Elijah, who opened his lips first, grumbled.

“For the time being…. “I told you to be careful.”

“Um….”

Judas also listened to attention.

Refrain from marital love during the early stages of her pregnancy.

So, the right decision is to stop before things get heated up even more.

Judas couldn’t help but swallow his regret.

“I can’t help it. “They say you can do it again if you just wait a little longer, so you just have to endure it until then.”

“Ugh….”

Elijah felt his body heat against her body.

Her eyes were slightly raised, as if she was embarrassed.

“Shall we solve it with something else?”

“What…” .”

Judas also realized this.

What and how are you going to solve it?

Elijah slowly traced her lips with his tongue.

It was just because I was nervous and embarrassed, but it was provocative to Judas.

“Even the hands… There is….”

“… ….”

After being silent for a moment, Judah quickly regained her senses.

“Um… ! Well, it’s okay. Ellie. You just have to endure it. “It’s hard on your body, but you don’t have to overexert yourself.”

“… It’s because I want to do it. I feel the same way….”

“… ….”

After thinking briefly, Yuda simply nodded her head quietly.

*

As the days passed, Elijah’s belly swelled.

By the time she was about 5 months old, she had started to notice on the outside.

Among the animals, Yuel was the first to notice the change.

One day, while I was taking care of Yuel in the barn, Yuel lowered his head to the level of Elijah’s stomach and tilted his head.

“Judas. “I wonder if Yuel recognizes me.”

“Oh, really?”

“Hehe, it’s amazing.”

Elijah gently stroked Yuel’s forehead.

Yuel gently closed her eyes and felt, and then she very lightly touched her nose to her stomach.

It was a gesture that seemed like a greeting.

“Yuel said hello to our baby.”

Elijah said in an excited voice.

Judah stroked Yuel as if he was proud of him.

“Well done. I’m proud of you. “Please take good care of me when I meet you in person later.”

Yuel was not the only one who noticed the change.

The spotted family also behaved differently from usual.

I could feel Elijah being careful next to her as he sat on the floor.

Elijah placed each of her puppies on her lap.

“It’s fascinating. “Do they know something too?”

“So…. “How do you know?”

“Because the sense organs of animals are different from those of humans. “Maybe there is some way.”

She’s not as smart as Yuel, so she can’t communicate.

Elijah felt that way.

The dust also changed its attitude.

Judah was small when I first brought her, but she has grown and reached her teenage years.

Now it has grown to the size of Elijah’s forearm.

Dust touched her head against Elijah’s bulging belly.

“… Thank you.”

Elijah said as he patted the dust.

I looked forward to the day when this child, who was being celebrated by everyone, would come into the world.
